Tail Lights

Does anyone recognise these tail lights? I like the oval shape, a little different than the usual round or badge shape.

Merten,
Did something similar 39 teardrop leds mounted in the fenders. check out my gallery. Bought the pair for 79$ and they are very bright.

Those are Cats-Eye tail lights. They can be found in most any after market motorcycle parts catalog, or bought thru a local custom bike shop. I've had one on my Panhead for over 26 years. About 3 years ago upgraded to a LED type.

Thanks Guys,
Those '39 lights have always been a favorite, I could never figure out how to stalk mount them. That's why the picture is interesting to me. So those are cycle lights I will have to see if I can look some of those up.

Merten,
While the lights have been made for motorcycles for years these are not. They are sealed units that mount almost flat on the body with no can in the rear. Take a look at the link I sent you might find some you like even better. Good luck.

The link that I gave you has these lights item 156 ,they are full functioning tail lights, kind of pricey but I think they are the ones that are on the truck you pictured

I'm trying to figure out why the guy mounted taillights on the side and has light bars under the tailgate? I would use the ones under the tailgate and get rid of the cateye ones. It would really clean up the back of the truck.

Probably a third (and fourth?) brake light, lol.
